We're not college educated, so while we've read academic psych journals out of necessity, they are pretty hard to fully and deeply understand all the nuances of. We usually understand the basics.
Ugh, I'm with you. A lot of them are hell to read, and sometimes it's because the subject is very complicated, but often it's because they badly need a prose editor. I have a few sources that are just... ordinary people discussing their experiences and lives in plainspoken language, and they are the BEST. I love those, and I wish fewer people tried to sound like a bargain-bin academic and focused instead on clarity.
Collective forgetting is so common on the Internet.
IT IS. T_T It's so tragic, how quickly things get forgotten! I hoard multi files like a dragon, because I don't want them to be lost!
We've seen brief mentions of other cultures with non disordered plurality but don't know what cultures because understandably, BIPOC don't want to be specific. [...] Instagram has taught us and BIPOC systems we know to put lots of disclaimers, amd many simply stopped posting.
Yeah, who'd want that target on their back? Especially when the game is so rigged against you?
Aw, its using your privilege for good, same like how we use our East Asian privilege in Asia where we live.
*high-fives*
I think Power To The Plurals (website we were told we shouldn't read) has an article about the huge flaws in it.
Oh yeah, we did a plural history vid for them once. Haven't spent much time on their website or anything, since we're bad at watching videos and are way more of an artist, writer, and linkdumper than an activist.
